How do members benefit?

The twice-yearly Newsletter is free to members and gives topical news from Scotland as well as news of what Sutherlands throughout the world are doing. There are articles on clan history and family history as well as an opportunity to exchange family history information. Members are encouraged to contribute information for the Newsletter.

The Society can offer advice from its Genealogist to those researching their family history and has some research material at its base in Dunrobin Castle. This includes microfilm of old parochial registers and books of tombstone inscriptions.

The Society holds an Annual General Meeting each year. Please check the web site News and Events where the date for the AGM will be posted when it is known.

The Clan Sutherland Society in Scotland has its base at Dunrobin Castle, near Golspie, which is open to the public from Easter to October. Society members enjoy free entry to the Castle on production of a current membership card. The Clan Room displays articles and information relating to the Clan.

Who can join?

The Society is open to anyone bearing the name Sutherland.   Some authorities regard the families of Cheyne, Federith, Gray, Oliphant, Mowat and a branch of the Keiths as historically associated with the Clan.   Anyone else interested in joining may apply for membership.
